Happy Easter!

Our Holy Week vacations were rainy, but we've enjoyed our Easter celebrations to the fullest, here at C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega. We decorated eggs, colored pictures and even had an Easter egg hunt! Our auxiliar, Sara, created a great egg hunt with clues to help us find the eggs around the school...and of course practice our English prepositions. :) Nearly all the classes from third through sixth grade have had a chance to participate in this fun-filled American tradition.

All the participants received a certificate of participation.

Is this the Easter Bunny??!! (Thank you Sara!)

Can you find the egg in this picture?

Aunque pasamos una Semana Santa lluviosa, aquí en el centro hemos disfrutado al máximo de las fiestas de Pascua. Hemos decorado huevos, coloreado fichas y hasta hemos hecho una auténtica búsqueda de huevos de pascua al estilo americano gracias a nuestra auxiliar Sara. :) Así hemos podido disfrutar de una tradición típica de la Pascua americana a la vez que practicábamos el inglés.

Visitors :)

I would like to apologize for this tardy update: our visitors for the Comenious Green Globe project were here for four days in mid-March. We were very happy to receive them at our school. We had representatives from Ireland, France and Poland with us to exchange ideas about the Green Globe project, which is focused on the environment and sustainable use of our natural resources.

Our visitors came with us on the 6th grade field trip to the recycling facility in Estepa and they also got to see the 3rd grade performance of our play: Friends of the Forest. We hope their visit was as enjoyable for them as it was for us. :) And from our blog we wish you a Happy Easter and happy end of the school year.

Thanks for visiting!!

Primero, nuestras disculpas por la tardanza con este informe: nuestros visitantes del proyecto Comenious "Green Globe" estuvieron con nosotros unos cuatro días a mediados de marzo. Nos alegramos mucho de poder recibirles en nuestro centro. Vinieron de Irlanda, Francia y Polonia para intercambiar ideas, metodologías y técnicas en el desarrollo del proyecto "Green Globe" que trata del medio ambiente y el uso sostenible de nuestros recursos naturales.

Nos acompañaron en la excursión de 6º al centro de reciclaje en Estepa y también tuvieron la oportunidad de ver la obra de teatro, "Friends of the Forest", de 3º. Esperamos que disfrutaran tanto de su visita como nosotros y desde aquí les deseamos unas felices pascuas y un buen fin de curso.

Gracias por su visita!!

Second Annual Spelling Bee

This spring at CEIP Lope de Vega, the students are practicing their ABC's and brushing up on vocabulary for the Second Annual Spelling Bee. We've already finished the preliminary round and 113 students from 1st-6th grade have classified to participate in the oral spelling competition.

Congratualtions!

This year, we've made some changes to the contest. Rather than competing within our own center, we will compete with the bilingual primary school in La Roda de Andalucía, CEIP Manuel Siurot!

The students who qualified to participate in the oral competition will compete first with their classmates and finally with representatives from their cycle both from Casariche and La Roda. The next stage of the competition (orally, at the class level) will be held the first week after Semana Santa. And the final round of competition with students from La Roda will be held the second week in May.

We're looking forward to the competition and having the chance to test our skills with our neighbors Rodenses.

Good luck to everyone!

Esta primavera los alumnos de CEIP Lope de Vega están ensayando el abecedario y memorizando vocabulario en preparación para el "Spelling Bee", concurso de deletrear en inglés. Este año por segunda vez estamos organizando este concurso tan peculiar pero con algunos cambios. En vez de competir sólo con estudiantes de aquí del centro hemos invitado a nuestros vecinos de La Roda de Andalucía a participar también.

Así que en la segunda semana de mayo competirán alumnos de Casariche y del centro de primaria Rodense, CEIP Manuel Siurot para el título de "Best Speller!".

Mucha suerte a todos!
